To find Groudon in Indigo Disk, you must first collect the Groudon Treat from Snacksworth at the Blueberry Academy. This can be done by completing 10 (or multiples of 10) Solo Blueberry Quests if you own the Scarlet version of the Gen IX game. If you own the Violet version, you must complete Gold Blueberry Quests to get this critter.

Considering that the order in which you receive Legendaries in this game is randomized, you might have to wait a while before you get Groudon's snack.

After receiving the Key Item, you must find Alfornada Cavern, the cave below the Alfornada Gym. Here, Groudon will be situated on top of the tallest rock. Enter the area from the western entrance, head straight, and fly across the gap to reach your destination.

Before you start the encounter with Groudon in Indigo Disk, make sure to turn off auto-save and save the game on your own. Try your luck at the start of the battle by throwing a Quick Ball. If this attempt is unsuccessful, you should try putting the Pocket Monster to sleep or paralyzing it. The go-to move for these encounters is False Swipe since it prevents the rare Legendary from fainting.
